While sorting through my old games, I stumbled across this classic mini-game once again. I can’t say why, but this game has popped into my mind every now and then over the years. Entertaining, challenging, and yet still fun.
All you need to control it is the left or right mouse button to determine the direction of the barrier creation. However, you need good nerves to play it. After a very long time, the developer Matthew Miller (https://mattdm.org/icebreaker/) has even released newer versions and there is now also a GitHub repository. The game is programmed in C.
I’ve been running v1.9.5 since the beginning, currently on Windows 11 and I still enjoy it just as much as I did “back then” on Windows XP when I first encountered this little game (was it perhaps once part of a CBS CD/DVD?).
